LET YOURSELF BE

Good Morning on this rainy Tuesday.  Get ready for all day rain.  Truly a sleepy day.  Make extra coffee.  It's going to be one of those days.  I had a  wonderful Guided Meditation last night.  I used the image of a beautiful spring day in a field of flowers.  I will keep that image in my mind if I find myself drifting during the day which is a huge possibility!

Days like this lead me to day dream.  Watching the rain is mesmerizing in a different way than watching snow or looking outside on a beautiful day.  Something about seeing the drops falling to the ground and the grayness that surrounds the rain.  Beautiful in its own way but also hypnotic.  Day dreaming is fun.  What do you think about when you day dream? 

Do you even allow yourself to do it?  Even the way I am talking about it like its a bad thing.  It isn't.  It lets you really think about nothing and everything.  Mostly we start thinking about things we want.  Material things, what we want in our lives, how we want our lives to be, what we are going to make for dinner, the list of chores we need to take care of.  A million thoughts cross our minds when we give ourselves the freedom to just be.

Today's quote, "What is it that you really want - its ok not to know - its ok to be content just being."  All too often we don't let ourselves just be.  I know I spend a lot of writing time talking about achieving your goals and going after what exactly it is that you want but it becomes hard and difficult to focus on that all the time.  Sometimes day dreaming helps you discover things about yourself you didn't know.  One thought leads to another and another and another. 

That's what day dreaming is.  Permission to wander and let your mind travel and through that traveling discoveries are often made.  So let yourself day dream.  Let your mind wander and take you on a journey.  You never know what you will discover.  But mostly - for today and maybe even tomorrow and the day after that and after that, if you need to just be, know that THAT is perfectly fine.  Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy
